What is the difference between Buddhism and Taoism?

Simply put, Buddhism is a foreign monk who can recite scriptures, and Taoism is the belief of our family.

Buddhism is a religion introduced from India, and was introduced to China in the Han Dynasty. The emperor also built a famous temple "White Horse Temple" for Buddhist children. But Taoism is different. The origin of Taoism is Old Gigi Lai. Laozi was a wise man in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Taoism has spread since Laozi founded Taoism.

To put it further, the fundamental teachings of Buddhism and Taoism are different.

Buddhism basically makes people believe in the existence of the afterlife, treat this life with tolerance and pin their hopes on the afterlife. People should live without desire and want, and have a heart of love and tolerance for everything. Taoism is to let people have a wanton attitude towards life and live a good life. Respect the gods and spirits of heaven and earth, and believe that you can become immortal after cultivation.

Unfortunately, Taoism is not as widespread as Buddhism at present, and many people prefer to believe in Buddhism. Taoism shows signs of gradual disappearance.
